Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

"Walk!"

The great elder knocked away the refugee in front of him with a palm of his hand.

He grabbed Jiang Yuyang, who was still distracted, and ran away.

On the way, some Feixuemen disciples who were still alive and unaffected gathered together.

He left the realm of Feixuemen in panic.

And at the mountain gate.

The third master, with red eyes, was holding a big knife and slashing at the refugees blocking the road ahead.

"Damn it, damn it...gold...gold is mine..."

He didn't care at all about the great elder and others who had run away.

…

At this moment.

One Eye has led a large army to the outside of An County.

There were two men beside him, one had narrow and sharp eyes and looked very ferocious.

One is a man with two extremely large teeth and looks very indifferent.

"A mountain eagle, a toothless rabbit, points?"

The mountain eagle grinned and said, "Brother One-Eyed, let's just split up. How can we talk about it?"

"Whatever." said the indifferent Bengya Rabbit.

The one-eyed wolf laughed, "Then I will attack the north gate, and the other two places will depend on the two of you."

"Where's the other place?"

The mountain eagle suddenly asked.

"There are three people around but one is missing. We must give them some hope of escape."

This is a strategy proposed by a white-faced scholar. Well, it is said that he learned it from the so-called military books.

After watching the two people disperse left and right with their own troops and refugees, One Eye's only remaining eye was full of gloom.

I don't know why, but a shady fool, a Rabbit who pretends to be aloof, has the nerve to pretend to be like me. Wait, after we finish attacking this county, I will annex you first!

Then he began to direct his men to prepare for the siege.

And at this moment.

Anxian County Government.

Ning Tianya, Li Hanhai, and a seemingly rough man, the county captain Zhang Youli.

Come together.

"what to do?"

"What else can we do? Let's fight. The bandits in Yandang Mountain cannot be trusted."

"That's right. What's more, it's not like we can't hold on. We've already sent people to ask for help. When Colonel Xuanshui arrives, with a wave of three thousand elite soldiers, these bandits will be defeated. This is not Yandang Mountain. They can't stop them. The captain lives in Xuanshui."

"Well, what you said makes sense, but when bandits attack the city, every household should contribute to it..." Ning Tianya said suddenly.

The three of them looked at each other.

They all saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

The bandits' attack on the city is both a crisis and an opportunity. In the past, although the three families were the tycoons of the county, they could not arbitrarily deprive the other wealthy families of their property, but now...

"Big households in the city, no, not just big households, every household should contribute, not only people but also money!"

"That's right!"

"What Ningxian Cheng said is absolutely true!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

…

Return to Ning Mansion.

Ning Tianya took a sip of tea.

"How's it going over there at Hongxia?"

Ning Bo Lin said in a deep voice, "Eldest sister hasn't come back yet."

Ning Tianya stopped his hand and said, "The city gate is blocked and we can't get in. However, Feixuemen still has some strength. No matter what happens, we should be able to escape. It's okay. It should be okay."

"Dad, do you want to send some people out? Otherwise, Mom's side..."

The mother here naturally refers to Ning Tianya's first wife.

Ning Tianya frowned. His wife came from an ordinary family in Liushui County, and she was considered a good match. After so many years, his wife had a strong voice in his family.

"Let Ah Fu and the others go out of the city to look for him."

As the two talked, they seemed to have forgotten Ning Hongye.

Outside the door, Ning Hongye's biological mother, who was trying to find Ning Tianya to save her daughter, looked at the two women in front of her with a sad look on her face.

"Madam...what do you have, madam..."

"Cui Zhu, Madam said, the manpower in the mansion is limited, you have to think of your own solution."

Cuizhu's face turned pale.

Cowardly, he lowered his head and backed away.

The two maids watched Cuizhu leave with expressionless faces. Even though Cuizhu was the master's concubine, they still looked down upon her.

Just a concubine.

Cuizhu walked back to his small courtyard with a dazed expression.

Looking at this small courtyard, it seems that this was given to me by the master after his daughter got engaged and relied on his son-in-law...

Where did you live before?

An ordinary room flashed back into my memory.

"Hongye, forgive me, mother, I can't save you..."

She knelt before the Buddha statue, tears welling up in her eyes.

She felt guilty.

Because she could not give birth to a boy, she hated her daughter until she grew older and regretted it, but it was too late.

At that time, her daughter's talent was revealed and she was highly valued by the master. However, she could not have a concubine's mother, otherwise it would only affect her future. Therefore, she remained distant and did not try to restore this family relationship.

Later, something went wrong in her daughter's cultivation and she became a disabled person. She saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, so she could only subsidize her daughter with her meager monthly money through the Fifth Master...

until now.

"Woo...why...is this happening..."

"I regret it so much..."

…

The siege has begun.

One refugee after another clung to the city wall like ants, using ladders and other equipment obtained from Quan County and Heping County.

Ancient cold weapon warfare was extremely cruel.

Pour boiling oil.

The skin and flesh of each person were fried to pieces, and the aroma of meat was alluring.

Rolling wood and stone...

Arrows flying across the sky...

"Ahhhh!!"

He missed his footing and fell from the top of the city.

Many people were not killed by the enemy, but by their own people.

Here, being injured is equivalent to being dead.

Under the city wall, piles of blood and flesh piled up, even touching the ladders.

Smoke spread.

The smell of meat was everywhere.

The smell of blood spread throughout the battlefield.

The refugees had collapsed long ago, and the bandits were not qualified generals. They only knew to force the refugees to move forward.

They didn't care about their lives at all.

The old man died.

Women and children died.

The young and strong died.

And these bandits were still waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.

"Haha, these refugees are really useful. They have been fighting all night, and they should be almost done by tomorrow morning."

On the city wall.

Groups of soldiers and servants came forward to resist.

But everyone was in a bad state, not only because of the cruelty of the war, but also because of the mental torture. The four counties were of the same blood and had many relatives...

"Ugh~"

"Woo woo... That's, that's my third uncle..."

"My nephew?! No, my nephew is only seven years old!"

"Cousin! Why are women also driven to the battlefield! No!"

"Damn bandits..."

"..."

The city wall was full of wailing.

Zhang Youcai was also deeply shocked, but he still asked people to hold on, even if the person below was their own father!

He would kill them anyway!

The battle continued with low to medium intensity.

An County was indeed the strongest among the four counties.

They resisted until the next day without breaking the city.

Early morning.

There were only one or two thousand refugees left out of the tens of thousands.

The entire battlefield was covered with smoke and corpses.

The child was looking for his father... The mother was looking for her son... The elder brother was looking for his younger brother...
